The Paladins, you, and Coran were all standing on the bridge for a small meeting Shiro asked to have.

"Good news," Shiro said, "There's been an upsurge in planets that have been liberated from Galra control by the Blade of Marmora and the rebel forces. Convincing these planets to join our coalition is priority one."

"Oh, does that mean more Voltron events?" Coran asked excitingly.

"Yes," Shiro replied with a smile. "Believe it or not, the Voltron show-of-arms goes a long way in inspiring others to join the fight." Shiro clicked a few buttons on the holographic screen, and a huge map of planets and star systems appeared above you all.

"The green clusters you see here, here, and here represent planets and, in some cases, entire star systems that have joined the coalition," he explained, "Not coincidentally, those are also the areas we've personally visited."

"All right! Razzle-dazzle time!" Lance exclaimed while boxing his face with his arms. "... for the war effort, of course." He composed himself.

"Oh fuck off!" You jumped on him. "Things like this is exciting! Not to mention it's fun for the crowd!" You gave him a nuggy.

"Y/n's right. If we're excited and motivated to do this, so will the people," Allura smiled in agreements.

"Coran, can you set everything up?" Shiro questioned.

"I know just where to start," the ginger-haired man replied.

To be honest, the event leading up to the show was quite boring and not worth mentioning. Voltron would be performing for saw war veterans in a hospital that they managed to restore. Now, it would be able to service the entire sector.

So now you were in the audience of patients, waiting for the others to arrive. You were unaware of what they were going to do, and were certain you were going to love it. A few minutes passed and the room suddenly got dark.

"Oh, it's starting," you murmured. A spotlight appeared on Coran who was standing on the stage.

"Ladies and gentle-aliens, bear witness as the Paladins of Voltron attack Zarkon's base to save the helpless Princess Y/n!" Your eyebrows shot up. The spotlight moved over to Shiro who shielded his eyes from the blinding light. Your brows stayed on top of your head when Shiro didn't say anything.

"Shiro, you're on!" You could hear Coran whisper to him. Shiro looked down at his wrist and a small screen appeared.

'Oh, this should be good.' You thought, leaning back in your seat.

"Uh... I will save the princess, even if it means taking on the Galra Empire with my bare hand," he read monotonously. Hunk walked on right after, reading the script as well.

"And you won't have to do it alone because you'll have me, Hunk," he read it just as flat.

"And me, Pidge," she appeared next.

"And me, Lance." Lance popped up in front of them all.

'Well, he definitely has more charisma.' You thought.

"Holds bayard dashingly—oh." His red bayard appeared in his hand, a smirk on his face. You covered your eyes, but still watched.

"Oh dear lord..." You whispered. Allura appeared and came up next to Lance.

"And me... Keith."

"PFFFFFT—ksskskkskskssksksksks..." You stifled your laughs.

"Thank you, team, for always being by my side, through thick or thin." Shiro paused in between to tap the screen twice. "Now, come along. Together, we'll..." He once again paused to let the others get into a straight line. Lance was the only one posing. Your face turned red from trying to hold back your laughter.

"... defeat Zarkon!"
Suddenly, Coran slid in front of them all, a h/c wig flowing down his shoulder.

"My heroes!"
Your laughter stop and shattered.

'DO I SOUND LIKE THAT!?!?' You thought, your jaw dropped. There was a second of silence for the ending before the lights came back on. No one clapped. You looked around to see everyone gone.

"Oh boy," you sighed.

"Well, that bombed," Hunk said. You stood up from your seat and walked over to them.

"It was flat as hell. Also, Coran..." You leaned forward, a few inches from his face. "Do I sound like that to you?" Your scalding glare made him sweat.

"Yeah, speaking of bombs, we need to get back to doing air shows with explosions and lasers... and bombs!" Lance said as all five of them walked off stage. Coran sighed and removed the wig from his head.

"I was hoping to expand our horizons," he said quietly. You placed a hand on his shoulder.

"I understand, Coran, but at the same time... I can't see something like this helping the coalition." You tried to break it to him gently, but that was the best you got. You walked away from him. You quickly ran to the door before it slid closed.

Soon after, Coran was flying the castle to a nearby planet. It was a stormy planet, fog and wind whipping every where. This was where you were supposed to do an air show for the people of the planet.

"Voltron air show, here we come!" Coran exclaimed. The castle began to land on the planet's surface.

"I hope you booked a larger venue this time," Lance said exasperatedly. The screen turned on to reveal the outside. You could barely see anything past the castle.

"I'm not sure if these are the best conditions for a show," Pidge said. An image suddenly appeared on the screen.

"Well, if it isn't Team Voltron, a day late and a fertronium short," the alien said. Everyone looked confusingly at the screen.

"I'm sorry, is there a problem?" Coran asked.

"Is there a problem? Yes! Yes, there is a problem! You were supposed to be here yesterday! It was the one day out of the year we have clear skies. The other 720 days are like this!" The alien gestured behind himself to the weather.

"Oh, I see my mistake," Coran said, "I forgot to calculate for time dilation."

"Oh, you made a mistake? The entire planet was out of their burrows for Clear-Day, just waiting. 'Where's Voltron?' they kept asking."

"Okay, th-that's on me," Coran said, raising his hands in surrender.

"I said, 'don't worry, they'll show up,' but did you? No! Then everyone starts turning on me. 'You said they'd be here!'"
You let out a sigh to contain your irritation when the whole castle shook violently.

"The fuck was that!?" You exclaimed. Coran pressed a few buttons on the control panel and a close up image of the bottom of the castle appeared.

"It's a Swathian meerakeet," the alien said. "They show up every day of the year except one. Guess which day?"

"Okay, we get it," Lance said, already tired of his complaining.

"CLEAR-DAY!"
Lance let out a groan.

"Don't worry. They'll chase any beam of light. I'll lead him away while we get out of here," Coran said, activating a laser beam from the top of the castle. The meerakeet walked away from the castle and moved to the laser. The castle's boosters revved up.

~
You guys got away from the meerakeet and were now floating through space.

"I'm really sorry about that," Coran sighed from in front of you.

"Coran, if we're going to expand this coalition in the short amount of time we have, we can't afford these kind of mistakes," Shiro replied.

"Ehh, that last show was pretty lame," Lance spoke, "I don't know if you're cut out to be managing this whole thing." You nudged him with your elbow a little.

"Just give me one more chance. I promise to turn it around," he pleaded. Everyone looked amongst each other.

"Alright," you spoke, "One more chance."

Ja ne!
